Ableton and External Effects

Hi there,

I've got a few external effect units and have configured them with Ableton as Sends. Everything is working fine except one thing - I always hear the dry signal even when I don't want to.

So, for example, I've got a dry/wet pot on my Oto Biscuit and I can normally lose the original dry signal and only hear the wet signal. But, with Ableton and how I have got it set up, I always hear the dry signal too. I can't mix dry and wet because dry is always 100%.

How do I lose the dry signal so that I can only hear the wet signal?

Thank you

Route the original track to "Sends only". You got a dry because you are using the Live mixer.

It would seem you need to study the Live mixer and external audio effect.
